Don't criticise individual preferences: MS Dhoni over Ranji row

Ex-India captain MS Dhoni has said India international players who have chosen to skip Ranji Trophy shouldn't be criticised for their "individual preferences". "It is important to safeguard players. We have to make the domestic circuit slightly challenging [pertaining to itinerary]," he added. Notably, Dhoni and Shikhar Dhawan were criticised for not playing Ranji while not on national duty.
